Commenting on the development, Swamy said “It is an honour to be elected the Vice Chairman of AFAA. Our goal will be to take the excellent work done by AFAA members to new heights across Asia. I look forward to greater cooperation and participation from all member countries."

AFAA is well known in the Asian region for the biennial AFAA AdAsia Congress its members organize. AdAsia 2017 will be held in the magical island of Bali in November. AFAA has also helped incubate the DigiAsia (14-17 November, 2016 in Taipei) and the AFAA FastTrack, a professional training programme which will be held early next year in Kuala Lumpur.
